Cause I liked this interview so much...;)

INTERVIEWER: Special guest, Ex frontman Savage Garden, Darren Hayes
So how are you?

Darren: I`m Really relaxed actually. You know, it`s the first time I have been home since christmas, cause I came home, and ahmm..my family and I went to Byron Bay for a couple of weeks, it was BEAUTIFUL. But I have been, you know, stuck in the recording studio, having a ball, but working real hard ever since then, so this is the first time I`ve been back home, and just loving it to be honest...

Darren: What`s the new music like... It`s ahh...Look I`m really proud of it. We just got the final mastered album two days ago, so I`m still listening to it like it`s brand new. It`s...God, it`s really romantic, it`s kinda r & b, ahh..it`s very pop. I mean I keep saying it`s a pop album with a capital P....

INTERVIEWER: It`s that you though? Do you describe yourself as a romantic r&b popbloke?

Darren: Ahh..I`m an idealist, definetly, so yeah. You know I think it`s exactly what you would expect me to do, and a littlebit more. That`s the comment I got. I know in the weekend some of you, the guys that worked there flew down and we had a media listenig to the album. YOu know and I had peope like Molly and Barry, just people in the industry come up to me and basically say ;"Wow, that`s exactly what I thought you should have done...

INTERVIEWER: There was this photograph of you in the Sunday mail here with a bit of a beat up story, and I didn`t even recognize you. You`ve changed!

Darren:You know it`s so funny. Ahh...nobody does, and it has been real liberating because that`s what I look like. And the minute I got into a band or whatever, I got black head and I became HIM, I became thiw other person in a band, and it`s funny, I just grew my hair out. It`s kinda light, and it`s kinda curly. Even my mother at some point has said; " I think I liked it dark"

Darren: This stuff that grows out of my head and you know I am definetly in a place in my life where I am really comfortable in my skin, and who I am. I guess it`s all part of that.

Darren: Well the first single is called Insatiable, and I think it gets delivered to the radio in a couple of weeks. You know it`s gonna be two commercial singles, bunch of remixes and whatever...but they will be out before christmas. The album doesn`t actually come out until next year.

Darren: I love Aneiki. I`ve heard that album when it was rough mixes, but finsihed, ahh..probably six months ago when I was in a plane and I listened to the whole thing from start to finish andI looked at him and just went WOW, it`s really good.

INTERVIEWER: Darren here it comes. We have to ask you, you know this question is coming.

INTERVIEWER: You know, cause we had Daniel in here with us the day the whole thing broke and we were talking to him, and this is what he said. (plays interview with Daniel)
So there you go, did you hear that?

Darren:I said it all. You know I told the truth. You know honestly, I think that ahmm...he was probably shocked because it`s the first time he`d ahh...heard the news as a reality. You have to understand that he absolutely left the band and came to us before the album was released you know, and if you ask him this question he would tell you thats the truth. It was in Japan, before Affirmation was released. He left the band! And it absolutely rocked my world. But for year and a half, for contract reasons, we weren`t allowed to talk about that. And the interview that started all of this, that I gave, was released one week earlier than it was ever supposed to.

Darren: I had talked to him about it. I had talked to him about it. Many many times. So you knwo, without slandering eachother I have told the truth. I`m not that kind of person, you know. And in fact I am the person in this situation who was faced with the fact that a band was ending without me really wanting it to, and that happened almost two years ago.

INTERVIEWER:But you know Darren. It`s like, it made it in the first four stories of all the network stations when it happened. It`s because in Brisbane you are like the Brisbane band and noone wanted it to end.

Darren: Look, you know I didn`t want it to end. You don`t understand I bawled my eyes out. I mean Japan, And what the hell am I supposed to do? We are supposed to go to rehearsal tomorrow. Are we not releasing this album? I mean I had to deal with that privately for a long time without ever being able to talk about it and that was really difficult.

Darren: Guys come on! I`m 30 years of age. I have a job that takes me all over the world. You just need to look at my passport, you need to look at my...listen to my accent. You need to look at the fact that everbody I know, and are related to in the world lives in Brisbane. And when I come back I rarely talk about it, or let anyone know that I`m there. Cause you know what I love the most about Brisbane is those little places that are special to me.

INTERVIEWER: You are coming home this weekend, and are you gonna tour with this new album of yours?

Darren: I wanna do it all, but you know ofcourse I am really humble about the fact that I am a new artist to everybody. Who really know who Darren Hayes is? It is incredible that I have been given the opportunity to have a record deal and make this album. And I`m enourmosly proud of it. I have always worked hard, I`m gonna work as hard as I have to, cause I wanna be singing and writing songs until I die so...I`m gonna take it really slow, I would love to tour and do all the things that anyone would wanna do and absolutely live, if I couldn`t perform live on stage I would want this job.

Darren: You know, I haven`t changed. I can`t wait to play it to you to, and as I said, I can`t wait to be home, so I`ll see you guys soon!
